Utilities (e.g., apparatuses, systems, methods, etc.) for use in converting a container (e.g., crate, box, packaging) within which a post hole digger (e.g., unassembled) is disposed into a stand useful for facilitating connection of the post hole digger to a tractor or the like.

A tool assembly and an attachment apparatus are provided, including a drive shaft extending along a longitudinal direction and forming a groove. A latch includes a notch configured to extend into the groove at the drive shaft. A coupler extends along the longitudinal direction and forms a cavity extending along the longitudinal direction. A tool end opening is formed at the first end of the coupler through which the drive shaft extends into the cavity along the longitudinal direction. The coupler forms a latch opening extending along the longitudinal direction and into the cavity. The latch is positioned in the cavity through the latch opening. A collar extends at least partially around the coupler. The collar is articulatable along the longitudinal direction around the latch opening.

A system includes a utility chassis for use with rock drills for automatic and safe drilling of target surfaces. The utility chassis has a lightweight vertical frame member with an overall center of gravity that allows for manual lift handles to be arrayed about the center of gravity for easy loading and unloading onto transportation vehicles without the need for separate heavy machinery. The utility chassis incorporates a spring-centered closed position valve for drill rotation and a three-way spring-centered retract with two open feed positions valve for increased safety. A hinged drill rod guide cap is incorporated into the drill rod guide for quick removal of the chassis from lodged or broken drill rods. The chassis is lighter, more ergonomic, and safer than prior art chasses.

A drill assembly attachment having a handle, a drill mount, and a throttle. The throttle may have a first portion and a second portion rotationally engaged with the first portion such that the second portion is rotationally actuated in response to linear actuation of the first portion of the throttle. The throttle is positioned with respect to the drill mount and the handle such that the first portion may be linearly actuated by a user with a hand grasping the handle. The drill assembly attachment receives a drill assembly such that the throttle adjustably engages a trigger of the drill assembly. The drill assembly attachment or the drill assembly receives an auger or other tool and the drill assembly attachment with the drill assembly and auger or other tool is used in a method of rotating the auger or other tool.

A drill apparatus mounted to a vehicle; having a vehicle, a boom arm apparatus and a drilling apparatus, wherein a first end of the boom arm apparatus is attached to the vehicle and the drill apparatus is flex ably attached to a second end of the boom arm apparatus via a self aligning apparatus so that the drill apparatus is forced against a surface which is to be drilled via the boom arm apparatus, thus securing the stability of the drill apparatus against the drilling surface and the drill mast is self-aligned substantially perpendicular to the surface to be drilled.

The present invention is a rebar hole doweling cart that pivotally holds an electric hammer drill near the ground to tap a hole and place the bit in a set aimed direction, and grips engages the ground to produce a manually-generated leveraged pushing force to drill rebar or dowel holes into a slab of concrete to construct or repair sidewalks, driveways, roadways, curbs, floors and the like. The cart has a frame, wheels, an elongated handle, a nose plate and a drill mounting assembly. The wheels position the cart and drill in front of the concrete slab. The elongated, upwardly extending handle is manually pushed or stroked forward to rotate the nose plate into gripping engagement with the ground and advance the drill bit forward. The drill mounting assembly simultaneously counter-rotates during the stroke to maintain the drill bit in its set aimed direction as the bit advances into the slab to form the hole.

A non-impact fence post driver attachable to a front end loader or similar mobile machine for operation has a hydraulic driven sleeve assembly suspended from a U-joint so as to vertically self-align from the loader, and has a fence post holding shell assembly attached to the sleeve with retractable gate hinged locking assembly to hold the fence post securely near the bottom while driving the post.

Disclosed is a lightweight electric earth drill including a mounting plate, a drill stem and an outer shell, a motor installed on the mounting plate and configured to drive the drill stem to rotate, a rechargeable battery configured to power the motor, and a controller configured to control the motor and electrically connected to the motor and the rechargeable battery. The lightweight electric earth drill is driven by the motor and has low noise, which causes less damage to health of the workers and does not disturb the residents around the construction site. The lightweight electric earth drill is powered by rechargeable battery or mains electricity without exhaust emission. The motor is controlled by the controller and rotates forwardly and reversely, enabling the drill bit to be pulled out after drilling the earth.

The beach umbrella tool comprises a T-shaped armature with an auger blade surrounding the bottom portion of a vertical main armature. A bearing at the top of the main armature may be held with one hand while the other hand is used to move a handle located at the end of a horizontal armature in circular motion. The resulting rotation of the T-shaped armature causes the auger blade to rotate and thereby remove sand from the beach beneath the beach umbrella tool. The bottom of a beach umbrella may be placed into the resulting hole.
